Classic Benedict

Good food, friendly staff. Biscuit bites are great !!! I definitely liked this place.

Frittata
Rachel P.

I've been to First Watch several times. Initially, it was a hit or miss but over the years, I've come to love them as a brunch spot in Joplin. The service is always fantastic and they are extremely patient with my family who has a lot of dietary restrictions. Food-wise, I loved their frittata, especially with their sun-dried tomatoes. The kale juice is also amazing. Their veggie burgers are mediocre -- not my favorite because their patty tends to be dry. Overall, its a great place to take family who have different needs for food haha so I give it a 4/5 stars.

OK, this is another breakfast spot my first time here. For breakfast. And the service was wonderful. The ambience was nice . I started off with the classic breakfast. My food came out. It was nice and hot or food came out pretty fast. It wasn't quite busy so when the food came out, everybody got their food and it was nice and hot. This was a great experience. I'll be back when in town.

Oatmeal

Saw the pics, and thought it would be a great place to try. We had the oatmeal and the eggs Benedict along w the Bloody Mary. The oatmeal was delicious. Lots of fresh fruit and the oats cooked just right. Not under/over cooked. My BF didn't care for the sauce on the Benedict's though. Apparently too much lemon in the hollandaise. The bacon was delicious. Thick cut and crispy.

Family in town and breakfast needed to be had before they hit the road!!! I had been before (but not reviewed) so we embarked on the journey of First Watch!!! They definitely have speed and customer service skills on another level at this place Craving the Carrot cake pancake with ham and bacon...(big kid probs) and I was hungry... It was tasty!!!!! They fixed my hunger! All our food came out hot. Party of 8!! The staff got our group of 8 order out fast and accurate. No drinks went empty. Our Server with black hair and tattoos...i missed her name did phenomenal! The foods were delicious! The price was just right. I was very pleased with this visit. When in the area again I will stop in as they definitely can fix hunger and cravings. Thank you for being in the right place at the right time! Respectfully, Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

First watch is always a solid choice for all your breakfast desires. We frequent this location and many others in Kansas and Missouri and are usually quite happy with anything we order. We usually order skillets, omelets, pancakes or biscuits and gravy. We don't really have a "go to" meal as everything is pretty good. The coffee is good and the service is usually always happy and prompt.

First time visiting this First Watch, and everything was fantastic! This location is so cute, the food was amazing and the service was awesome! I love that you can tell the ingredients are always so fresh at First Watch. I also love that they have such a great diverse menu. Whether you are trying to eat healthy or have specific dietary needs, First Watch has you covered. And all of it is amazing! This location cooked everything to perfection. I wish I had taken pictures of the food, but we were starving and got to eating to fast! Both my grandkids LOVED the chocolate chip pancakes! The food also came out super fast! Finally, Cassie was our server, and she was helpful and friendly! Typically, FW usually has great service, so I was happy that the Joplin location was no exception. This is a great brunch place, and I am so glad that Joplin has a First Watch.

Traditional breakfast-two eggs, over easy, perfectly cooked bacon, homemade toast and potatoes. Yum!

Be careful, they give bad wait time estimates so you may be waiting a lot longer than you expect.

Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom was the perfect dining option during my stay at La Quinta Inn,…read moreespecially since it is conveniently attached to the hotel. After traveling, having a restaurant just steps away was incredibly convenient, and the menu offered plenty of options without requiring me to leave the property. I started with my usual Caesar salad, which was fresh, crisp, and a great way to begin the meal. I also tried the Deep Oven Bang Bang Shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious. The shrimp were flavorful, satisfying, and easily one of my favorite parts of the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the hand-tossed pizza topped with beef sausage and pepperoni. The crust had a great texture, and the combination of savory toppings, melted cheese, and sauce made every bite enjoyable. It was filling without feeling overly heavy, and I would definitely order it again. I also tried the Sweet Basil Strawberry Lemonade with Tito's, and it was the perfect drink to pair with my meal. It was refreshing, flavorful, and the Tito's added just the right touch. Overall, Old Chicago Pizza & Taproom was a convenient and enjoyable dining experience. The food was delicious, the portions were satisfying, and the location made it absolutely worth leaving my room and the hotel.

I ordered the poutine and my friends ordered the darth vatos migas and biscuits and gravy. Everything we ate was so good and very cheap considering the food they give you and what it seemed like everything being made in house. After brunch we went to our cars and one of our cars would not start and the workers there even came out to help us. They are above and beyond on service and food! I wish this place wasn't so far away from us because I would come everyday! But we will be back after our next float trip!

Unwelcoming service and completely mediocre food. We walked into this diner-style spot to find a…read morevery limited, hyper-specific menu. When I asked if I could get a simple order of scrambled eggs with avocado, the cashier openly complained about taking the request, saying she'd "get yelled at" for doing it. To top it off, the staff member who brought the food out confronted our table by asking, "Who didn't like my menu?" The food was totally underwhelming and certainly not worth dealing with that kind of attitude. Save your money and go somewhere that actually respects its customers. I would not recommend this place.
